So weve had protests in belarus say in the United States and now hong kong as well where police have fired pepper balls and arrested at least 90 people during antigovernment demonstrations these protests are against beijings new security law which was imposed on the territory earlier this year people are also angry about a delay in elections for Hong Kongs Legislative Council is supposed to be held today sunday but theyve been postponed for a year because of the pandemic his i dream an update from hong kong. Some of the scenes youve just been looking at are reminiscent of what we saw a year ago but this was not on the scale of the protests of last september or ghost or june effectively what has happened here today as the police have managed to block a large planned demonstration and they did that by flooding the streets of the cow lupin instead area of nathan road up to 2000 police were deployed now that didnt stop small groups of people mingling with shoppers and chanting slogans in support of hong kong independence why does that matter well those actions that contravene the new National Security lorem people who are doing not of course risk arrest as for what the demonstrators themselves feel theyve achieved well we saw plenty of individual acts of defiance on sunday and yes a lot of the protests to say our ability to stage large demonstrations have been curtailed but you know our voice has not been entirely silenced the reason why there was there was anger on sunday is this was supposed to be the day that the people of hong kong went to the polls but the government cancel those elections citing coded 19 opposition groups say the reason why the Government Council the election is because it knew that the pro establishment parties would face a severe dropping as they did during the local elections 10 months ago. With us now emily lau chairwoman of the International Affairs committee of hong kongs Democratic Party she was previously a member of the lives that of council as well as a thank you for your time protesting during a pandemic and under a new security law from beijing do you think it is effective was it effective today well i guess the hong kong people and the International Community is should know that people are not going to if. They are very angry and then determine now we have. 19 independent social distancing. Not more than 2 people at the reigning public at any time and with the National Security you know all home growing over us but still you see these 100 students all people turning out and they have like 2000 or more Police Officers to try to stop the people so were not going to stop and what we can for is justice what we call is democracy and we want the bating regime to address 10. People just will not want to give me like a bad penny keep turning i have. But you do know the consequences now dont you i mean you can disagree with the security lower as much as you want in a lot of people do but the fact is it is law now and anyone who gets arrested under what will they know what the potential consequences are right. Well true and these people but its all on the streets they all know the band not afraid you can not just intimidate people into sight of what you should do is to engage them all that lets find a way out instead of beating them shooting at them you know the scene is i believe going to happen again and that now. What about the election side of things it was supposed to be a vote today and we know it had been postponed for a year though do you anticipate that that could change that it could be brought forward at all or will that depend on as the Authorities Say covered 1000 situations i dont think they will bring it all the way inspect i was told that they didnt even want to put it date correct now they say its next year and september. They didnt even water. They just one. Thing it indefinitely because all that making and also because of the popularity of the procommunist have so well were brats i mean very surprised if the election in september makes it so the situation here is really very bad and they and the rest i think it. Will all rest well or business i mean this really it matter must know when ive spoken to you in the past and actually you said it again today in your very 1st answer you talked about the International Community obviously you look for support from the do you feel you and the Hong Kong Democracy Movement gets that support or has it fallen off the international right down somewhat. Well not at all i mean a you know the Chinese Foreign minister was he was in europe receiving aid is obtaining d 5 countries including germany. The lead and. No wait not getting a welcome at all and even the another guy on the floor in this committee a problem his father came to visit greece and spain i dont well i dont know what they can say all the short shrift but it seems a european country and lot of top happy and germany. Italy in no way they always call and some even say oh maybe we should give that nobel prize. That of course the Chinese Foreign minister no end but it was. All an out of the way that and i will or but i do think youre in asia in america in australia able cogging you to raise our call and im very grateful that they didnt wait and it may have been a rest me but making such was too bad but we certainly need the support of the International Community its very important.

And in sport of trying to wrap this around to level things out in the eastern conference semifinals at the n. B. A. Its got you support a little its. Been 2 news here least one person is reported to have been killed and another wounded in a stabbing attack that happened in the in the coastal city of 140 kilometers south of tunis the capital the National Guard says it has killed 3 of the attackers. Medical School Graduates doctors and nurses have protested in iraqs capital over a lack of code 19 precautions and a lack of jobs iraq is witnessing a surge in new cases a record 5000 new infections on friday the Health Ministry says hospitals are on the verge of losing control with these rising numbers lets talk to doso jabari in baghdad about this one i mean that was what we were talking about yesterday the losing control the spike in the numbers add on to that medical strides because of this situation and it just makes a bad situation worse. Certainly it has the potential to become a disaster because there is already a shortage of medical staff and personnel working in the industry and that is one of the main issue is that there are now around 30000 Health Care Workers that are sitting at home theyre unemployed theyre either recent graduates or they just dont have jobs and that is because the government says they dont have enough money to bring them on or to try and help find the fight the pandemic that they are fighting at the moment there are people we spoke to today at this protest the doctors say that one of the issues they have the ones that are working is that there isnt enough of them theyre short stuff for a vote one doctor treats about 1200 iraqis thats the ratio of doctors to the population and given the numbers that were seeing here just in 48 hours there is nearly 10000. 00 cases of covert 19 confirmed so theres really an overwhelming of the Health Care System already on top of that theres another issue that the doctors are dealing with that is they are coming under attack. From people that are left behind to people that have lost their loved ones to cope with 19 theyre very angry that there arent enough medical personnel to help the patients so there is a safety issue as well on top of that the people that have graduated say they dont have enough jobs the government is not doing enough we spoke to a young woman who graduated last year and shes been sitting at home since she graduated saying that she needs to do her residency in iraq the residency period is about 6 years and they want that to be reduced to one year so they can move forward in their careers quickly so there is a number of issues and the union that that organized this protest saw people coming from across the country it wasnt just limited to baghdad and they said that they will give the government 48 hours and they will start a partial strike the doctors that are working the hospital slowly will go on strike and if by the end of the week their demands are not met if the government hasnt listened to them they will go on a full strike and that could possibly have really really dangerous consequences here but still keeping an eye on a very delicate covert situation in iraq right now thanks to. India as well in the spotlight it is again reported the worlds highest single day tally of new infections on sunday more the 90000 cases the death toll has now surpassed 70000. Due to government says this comes down to increased testing within 4000000 people there have now tested positive for covert 9 little bit earlier i spoke to ramadan. Who is the director of the center for disease dynamics economics and policy which is based in the United StatesResearch Organization he told us indias true number of infections is actually likely much higher. So donna do studies in india indicate that were probably undercounting cases by a factor of anywhere d n a 100 perhaps even more and keep i
